Esoxmagnum IS going on repeated ignorant rants, and has demonstrated his total belief in the MYTHS and revisionist history he has bought into and prefers to live in denial of the facts those of us who really KNOW the facts are trying to provide for him. Instead he calls us deluded liars. . . and then he proceeds to pile on more of his mis-information and ignorance. I don't think he really knows how foolish it makes him appear. It's sad.
If being a conservative is foolish, I’m guilty as charged.
Myths? I’ve backed them up.
You? You’ve indicated you have all this inside knowledge that disputes what is widely reported. You accuse me of being “in denial of the facts those of us who really KNOW the facts”. How do you really KNOW these facts I’ve outlined to be false? What are your credentials? Everyone out there must be wrong. Lets use your favorite word, they are all FUD correct?
I outlined in my sarcasm post what you wanted to hear. That in a nutshell is your argument, and the argument of every Appleboy out there.
They put out a crap product, it takes them several years to get the product working, and they exist only by their fanboi base, and by misleading the public with slick marketing and by targeting granny and the technically challenged. Oh.. a dentist office uses Apple products? WOOHOO! They save files and stuff? Wow, Apple has come a long way. Remember when they didn’t even offer internal Hard Drives and PC’s did? Genius, pure genius. Remember that whole Corvus thing? Yeah, that was the FUTURE!
The ONLY thing Apple has ever done to increase their market share, is to watch what other innovators were doing, and then spend mass cash to copy it. They then push their product out, unfinished, in order to say they were first. Apple is notorious for doing this, and most folks with common sense realize it is for legal purpose. Even Europeans are not playing those games anymore. They get away with it here, because of their politics.
Why is apple growing? Well, is it coincidence they are the No.2 Liberal company in America, and are now the no 2 company in America? Is Apple growing that much, in terms of real hard growth, or is the rest of American companies just dying? Also, marketing. Apple markets to those who cannot plug in a monitor. Guess what the fastest growing segment of our population is? Boomers. Old people. People who can’t plug in a monitor.
You would be hard pressed to find a 14 year boy old who would be gleeful for an Apple Computer under their tree. An iPhone? Probably, but that’s what kids use. They would be just as happy with an Android, I assure you, but as long as mom & dad are buying, I’m sure an iPhone would work. Ask them how they would spend their money? I’d bet it wouldn’t be the hefty tag of Apple unless they had well-to-do parents.
And once again, if not falling in love with your gay company makes me foolish, I’m guilty.
Sorry, no rainbow colored apples for me.
Apple is a bubble, like the .com bubble, and like the housing bubble. FUD? Apple is mostly propped up by its fanboi base, and not the facts. Apple over promises time and time again (even Cavuto has criticized them for this), but the fanbois are still there.
Any other company would have been out of business. They are like Lucy and Charlie Brown with the football. But I guess as long as there are women like my wife who want a cute little computer in their kitchen, aging boomers who think Apple has better “gigabytes and wi-fies”, and soccer moms who believe it is a sign of prosperity to own the latest iGadget, Apple will continue. But eventually, people move on, fads die. I suspect like all fads, Apple users will wise up and move on.
The great thing about the new Apple products is the portability. Maybe now the Boomers will be able to take the Apple products to their nursing homes with them to listen to the latest “hits of the 60’s”.
Once again, they manufacture pure rubbish, their politcs are even more rubbish, and you pimping them almost daily indicates your love for both.
Yet I appear foolish? Only on DU would I appear foolish.
